Suppressed Distribution. Likely never to be shown on television again due to Oriental stereotypes. Banned from "June Bugs 2001". I would have to admit that this is a valid decision on WB's part as the majority of Japanese people are solid world citizens. That was not the case when this cartoon was made. All you may ever see is the title card. So enjoy.
